Pier Patrick Gaub has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Megaminx: a personal-best single of 54.51, set at Rhein-Neckar Open 2023, puts him in the top 7.2% of the 34,786 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3rd in Paraguay. Until April 2010, no official Megaminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since September 2016, he has put 206 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 69% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 21.04 in September 2016 to 12.67, a 40% improvement. Pier has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% of everyone who has ever competed.

Reading this page: a single is one solve's time · an average is the middle three of five solves, best and worst discarded · a PB is a personal best · a DNF (did not finish) is an attempt with no valid result: a popped piece, an unsolved face, an over-limit memorisation · top X% compares against everyone ever ranked in that event, which is fairer than raw rank because event pools differ tenfold.
